CASUALTY INFORMATION SYSTEM 

All data in this Casualty Return is produced

mainframe computer. Further details of the 
Casualty Information System and other 
shipping information files may be found on 
the inside back cover of this return. 

DEFINITIONS 

1 TOTAL LOSS For the purpose of 
Lloyd's Register Casualty Returns the 
term ‘Total Loss' refers to a merchant 
ship which, as a result of being a 
marine casualty, has ceased to exist, 
either by virtue of the fact that the ship 
is irrecoverable or has subsequently been 
broken up. Ships -which have been 
declared constructive total losses but 
which are undergoing or have „ 
undergone repairs during the quarter are 
not included in the Return. 

2 CASUALTY CATEGORIES are defined 
as follows:— 

1 Foundered Includes ships which sank 
as a result of heavy weather, springing 

of leaks, breaking in two, etc., and not 
as a consequence of categories 2-7. 

2 Wrecked/Stranded Includes ships 
lost as a result of touching the sea 
bottom, sandbanks or seashore, etc., as 
well as entanglement on underwater 
wrecks. 

3 Contact Includes ships lost as a 
result of striking an external substance 
but not another ship or the sea bottom 
(see categories 2 & 4). This category 
includes striking drilling rigs/platforms, 3 
regardless of whether in fixed position 

or in tow. 


4 Collision Includes ships | os , 
result of striking another ship, 95 9 
regardless of whether under w aY 
anchored or moored. This categn 
not include striking underwater ^ 

5 Fire and Explosion Includes 
lost as a result of fire and/or exp| ■ h 
where it is the first event reported 08 "* 1 
Note: It therefore follows that 
casualties involving fires and/or 
explosions after collisions, strandin 
etc., would be categorised under 9 ' 
’Collision", "Stranding’. 

6 Missing After a reasonable p e „ 

time, no news having been received 01 * 11 
ship and its fate being therefore 0,1 
undetermined, the ship is posted as 
'Missing' at the Corporation of L| 0V d' 
and is included in the Missing caw! 
on the data base together with siW 
cases reported by other reliable sourl 
Note: In peacetime, missing ships a?* 
considered as losses occasioned to sk 
by marine perils. *** 

7 War Loss—Damage 
During Hostilities This categoryj, 
intended to encompass loss occasion, 
to ships by hostile acts. 

8 Hull/Machinery 
Damage Includes ships lost as a 
result of hull/machinery damage or 
failure which is not attributable to 
categories 1-7 or category 9. 

9 Miscellaneous Includes ships 
which have been lost which, for wants 
sufficient reasons, cannot be 


The last three categories are included 
together under the heading ‘Lost’in 
Table 1.

DEFINITIONS 

1 TOTAL LOSS For the purpose of 
Lloyd's Register Casualty Returns the 
term 'Total Loss' refers to a merchant 
ship which, as a result of being a 
marine casualty, has ceased to exist, 
either by virtue of the fact that the ship 

is irrecoverable or has subsequently been 
broken up. Ships which have been 
declared constructive total losses but 
which are undergoing or have 
undergone repairs during the quarter are 
not included in the Return. 

2 CASUALTY CATEGORIES are defined 
as follows:— 

1 Foundered Includes ships which sank 
as a result of heavy weather, springing 

of leaks, breaking in two, etc., and not 
as a consequence of categories 2-7. 

2 Missing After a reasonable period of 
time, no news having been received of a 
ship and its fate being therefore 


undetermined, the ship i s Do „

LLOYD'S REGISTER OF SHIPPING 

Casualty Return December 1981 

Notes 


THE CURRENT QUARTER 

The percentage proportion of the world fleet 
totally lost during the December Quarter, 

1981, was 0.11 % of ships and 0.06% of 
tonnage. The proportion of the fleet broken 
up, etc., not consequent upon casualty 
was 0.15% of ships and 0.34% of tonnage 
(see Table 1). 

CASUALTIES 

Among total losses reported this quarter: 

The oldest ship was the cargo ship 
HAVBLIK (NOR) 197 GT, built 1937, which 
was wrecked off Norway. 

The largest ship was the tanker RIVA I 
(PAN) 31 678 GT, built 1965, which was 
extensively damaged by fire at Eilat. 

The highest loss of life occurred in the bulk 
carrier MARINA Dl EQUA (ITU 22 901 GT, 
built 1972. Her crew of thirty were 
reported missing after she sank in heavy 
weather. 

A notable loss during the quarter was the 
research/cargo ship GOTLAND II (GFR) 

2 1 58 GT, built 1971, which sank in the 
Yule Sea after being crushed in ice packs 
during an Antarctic survey. 

Perhaps the most significant loss was that 
of the cargo ship UNION STAR (IRP) 

999 GT, built 1981. She was wrecked 
whilst on her maiden voyage, off the 
Cornish coast, after engine failure in heavy 
weather. The lives of her crew were lost as 
well as all hands on the attending lifeboat. 

Continued hostilities between Iran and Iraq 
led to the loss of yet another vessel. The 
cargo ship MOIRA (PAN) 4 084 GT, built 
1955, sank off Bandar Khomeini on route 
from Venice. 

DISPOSALS 

The oldest ship in this section was the 
cargo ship PIC R (CAN) 3 569 GT, 
built 1897. 

Thirteen steam tankers were broken up 
during the quarter, totalling 1 031 507 GT, 
representing 72% of all tonnage 
demolished. Of these, five were over 
100 000 GT (approx. 200 000 DWT ) and 
totalled 574 741 GT. 

Serious casualties were reported to the 
following ships over 10 000 GT during the

1 TOTAL LOSS For the purpose of 
Lloyd's Register Casualty Returns the 
term 'Total Loss' refers to a merchant 
ship which, as a result of being a 
marine casualty, has ceased to exist, 
either by virtue of the fact that the ship 
is irrecoverable or has subsequently 
been broken up. Ships which have been 
declared constructive total losses but 
which are undergoing or have 
undergone repairs during the quarter are 
not included in the Return. 

2 CASUALTY CATEGORIES are defined

seven ships were lost during the year (twelve more than the 
previous year) twenty-three of which were in port. 

Four tankers with a gross tonnage over 20,000 were lost. 

The largest ship lost was the Greek ore/oil carrier AGIOS IOANNIS, 
gross tonnage 70,078, built 1971. 

Collision Gross tonnage lost through collision increased to 
123,01 5, almost double the previous year's figure. Forty-one 
ships were lost during the year, two more than in 1980. At least 
thirteen of the collisions occurred in bad visibility or fog. 

The largest ship lost was the Japanese bulk carrier SEIRYU, gross 
tonnage 17,175, built 1976. 

Contact Total losses in this new category (contact cases were 
included under wrecked until the end of 1 980) amounted to 
19,669 gross tonnage. Ten ships were lost, the largest of which 


was the semi-submersible deck cargo ship SUPER SERVANT 2 
gross tonnage 10,184, built 1 979 and registered in the 
Netherlands. 

Wrecked/Stranded Total losses in this category remained atths 
same level as last year, with 232,029 gross tonnage. 

The largest ship wrecked was the Panamanian bulk carrier 
ZEPHYR, gross tonnage 13,692, built 1 965. 

The second oldest ship totally lost during the year was in this 
category, the Panamanian tug WITSERVICE IV, gross tonnage

lost was thirty-five, of which three ships were over 50 , 000 gross 
tonnage. 

Age Six per cent of all ships lost were less than five years old; 
twenty-four per cent were over twenty-five years of age. 

Lives lost The numbers of persons reported killed or missing as* 
result of total losses are indicated opposite for the years 
1 978-1 981. The markedly increased figure for 1 981 includes#* 
431 lives lost when the Indonesian ro-ro cargo/passenger ferry 
TAMPOMAS II, gross tonnage 6,139, built 1971, sank after 
explosion and fire.

Casualty Information System 

All data in this Casualty Return is produced from the Casualty 
Information System maintained on the Society's IBM 3033N 
mainframe computer. Further details of the Casualty Information 
System and other shipping information files may be found on the 
inside back cover of this Return. 


Definitions 

1 TOTAL LOSS For the purpose of Lloyd's Register Casualty 
Returns the term 'Total Loss' refers to a merchant ship which, 
as a result of being a marine casualty, has ceased to exist, either 
by virtue of the fact that the ship is irrecoverable or has 
subsequently been broken up. Ships which have been declared 
constructive total losses but which are undergoing or have 
undergone repairs during the quarter are not included in the 
Return. 

2 CASUALTY CATEGORIES are defined as follows: 

1 Foundered Includes ships which sank as a result of heavy 
weather, springing of leaks, breaking in two, etc., and not as a 
consequence of categories 2-7. 

2 Missing After a reasonable period of time, no news having 
been received of a ship and its fate being therefore 


undetermined, the ship is posted as 'Missing' at the 
Corporation of Lloyd's and is included in the Missin 
on the data base together with similar cases reDnrtiL Cate 90 h, 
reliable sources. “ by oth 6 ’ t 

Note: In peacetime, missing ships are considered as 
occasioned to ships by marine perils. 0s Ses 

3 Fire/Explosion Includes ships lost as a result of fir- 
explosion where it is the first event reported. 6 an ^ 0 r 
Note: It therefore follows that casualties involvinq fj 
explosions after collisions, stranding, etc., would b e eSan< \ 
categorised under 'Collision', 'Stranding'. 

4 Collision Includes ships lost as a result of striking or h 

struck by another ship, regardless of whether under w be ' n9 
anchored or moored. This category does not include 
underwater wrecks. ri ^' r 'g 

5 Contact Includes ships lost as a result of striking an 
substance but not another ship or the sea bottom (see e * ,err, 5l 
categories 4 & 6). This category includes striking drilljn 
platforms, regardless of whether in fixed position or in to S( 

6 Wrecked/Stranded Includes ships lost as a result of 

the sea bottom, sandbanks or seashore, etc., as well as° UC S) 
entanglement on underwater wrecks. 

7 War Loss —Damage During Hostilities This category j 
intended to encompass loss occasioned to ships by hostn e 

8 Hull/Machinery Damage Includes ships lost as a result t ^* 5 
machinery damage or failure which is not attributable to ° ^ 
categories 1 -7 or category 9. 

9 Miscellaneous Includes ships which have been lost wh' v, 
for want of sufficient reasons, cannot be classified. ct1. 

The last three categories are included together under the 
heading 'Lost' in Table 1.
